After finally getting hold of some 0W30 oil ( Mobil ) , spent most of the Bank Holiday afternoon trying to get the car level on the wobbliest gravel drive in the kingdom so I could get a true reading from the dipstick as to the state of play in the sump .
However , soon discovered how very clever the Fiat engineers had been in choosing a dipstick the exact same colour as the oil ! Honey coloured dipsticks do not make accurate oil level readings easy . After nearly 5,000 miles , required 600ml . Have always been a great believer in topping-up to the max mark .
